Bikes: 1978 Trek TX700; 1978/79 Trek 736; 1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport; 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP; 1985 Trek 620; 1985 Trek 720; 1986 Trek 400 Elance; 1987 Schwinn High Sierra; 1990 Miyata 1000LT

I get it.

I took a bike that was at 700c and changed it to 27" just so I could use a particular set of brakes that wouldn't reach 700c.

I don't look at it as bad, as most of my bikes are 80s tourers that work best with 27" wheels.
